Chapter 82 Unexpected Fortune?
Chapter 82 Unexpected Fortune?
"Strange, when did Itachi secretly grow taller again? How come he's taller than her again?" Uchiha Ye thought to herself, lying on Itachi's body.
Without having to stare into Itachi's eyes, Uchiha Ye felt much more relaxed; otherwise, she would always misunderstand.
"But why are these people studying strategies in this tree? Can't we just get going?!"
Time passed without anyone noticing, and Uchiha Yo's eyelids began to droop, and he unknowingly drifted off to sleep.
If she absolutely had to explain why, it would be because Itachi's embrace was just too warm.
Hearing Ye's even breathing, Itachi's lips curled into a helpless smile. "He's asleep!"
He, who had been too afraid to move, finally lowered his head and looked at the person lying on top of him.
After a long while, he finally couldn't hold back and placed a kiss on Uchiha Ye's forehead.
Seeing that Ye showed no signs of waking up, he breathed a sigh of relief, after all, being caught doing something wrong was really not a good thing.
"Itachi, how long have I been asleep?"
"Have those people left?" Uchiha Ye rubbed his eyes, asking with a somewhat confused look in his eyes.
"Yes, we are safe now."
"That's good. Let me see your foot." Uchiha Ye had regained his senses and remembered that Itachi's foot was still injured.
Fortunately, Itachi wasn't too stupid; he knew to sit down and rest.
Uchiha Ha left Itachi's embrace and crouched down to examine Itachi's feet.
"How could it be so serious? It shouldn't be like this!" Her mind was filled with doubt. "Did she sleep for that long?"
Uchiha Ye didn't admit that falling asleep had made Itachi's leg injury worse, but he still felt a little guilty.
He quickly used medical ninjutsu to treat the ankle that looked like a pig's trotter.
I suddenly have a craving for roasted pig's trotters!
In an instant, her thoughts wandered off course, and she quickly shook her head. "Itachi, you need to practice taijutsu more often in the future so that your body's reaction speed can keep up with the Sharingan."
"Alright, Ye will train with me!" Itachi said with anticipation.
"Of course, haven't we been practicing together all along?"
"Does Itachi have another companion?" Uchiha Ye looked at him curiously.
"No, Ye, don't overthink it." Itachi quickly shook his head.
A hint of mockery flashed in Uchiha Ye's eyes. "Itachi, what are you so excited about? You don't actually have some secret, do you?" She then brought her face close to Itachi's.
Looking at that face, Itachi Uchiha couldn't help but lean forward, "Closer, closer." His throat bobbed, and he was almost touching that rosy blush.
"Itachi, I was just kidding!" Uchiha Ye sat back down and chuckled, continuing, "Once your leg is healed, let's leave, otherwise Anko-nee will be getting impatient."
A hint of regret flashed through Itachi's mind, but he thought this could be considered a breakthrough!
When they arrived at the bandits' encampment again, just as they had guessed, it was deserted.
Uchiha Ye was still somewhat unwilling to give up, and searched carefully again, but he really didn't find anything of value. "Ah... no, it's useful information."
"Ye, I found this!"
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Ye ran to Itachi's side and looked at his hands. "How come Itachi can find so much money?!" she exclaimed, her face full of frustration.
"Ye, here you go!" Itachi stuffed the money in his hand into Uchiha Ye's hand.
"Is it really for me?" she asked in surprise.
"Yes, everything I have is yours." Itachi's voice was very soft, but Uchiha Ye was so engrossed in the joy of finding money that he didn't hear it at all.
Although the money wasn't much, she liked this kind of unexpected windfall.
"Weasel, let's go to town and spend it."
"Not spending money found on the street will bring bad luck."
Uchiha Ye said a few words in a serious tone, and then started walking towards the town.
"I finally gave Ye the money I had on me."
Seeing the person so happy, he couldn't help but smile and followed.
"Itachi, are you always so lucky? Can I get a bit of luck with you?" Itachi looked at her, somewhat puzzled.
Uchiha Ye coughed lightly and said hesitantly, "I also want to find the money myself!"
"How do I rub it in!"
"Itachi, you've agreed!"
"No going back on your word."
Uchiha Ye was so excited that she stopped and grabbed Itachi's hand, the one that had been holding the money, and intertwined her fingers with his.
He then muttered something under his breath, but didn't make a sound. Itachi found Ye Qiancheng's attitude amusing.
"If Ye finds out that the money he picked up was his own, he's probably doomed." Uchiha Itachi immediately decided to keep this a secret.
Upon arriving in the town, Uchiha Ye wandered around, looking at everything and occasionally grabbing a passerby to ask strange questions. If it weren't for her pretty face, she probably would have gotten a lot of beatings.
"Ye seems to really enjoy going out," Itachi silently noted in his mind, making plans accordingly.
Finally, exhausted from walking around, Uchiha Ha followed Itachi to the inn where Anko was hiding.
"Holy crap, how can anyone stay in such a run-down hotel?"
Uchiha Ye glanced at the plaque that was about to fall, a hint of doubt flashing across his face.
How come there are houses like this in this otherwise bustling town?
"Squeak...squeak..."
Every step felt like crushing the wooden planks on the ground, and rats could be seen crawling by from time to time.
"You've finally arrived! Are you alright?" Hongdou suddenly appeared in front of the two teammates, scanning them over.
"It's nothing, I was just scared to death by you," Uchiha Ye said with a hint of annoyance.
Suddenly a spider landed between them.
Uchiha Ye immediately rushed out the door, saying, "Sister Anko, you can stay here by yourself. We won't keep you company."
"What are you two ungrateful bastards? It's just a bit run-down, is it really that big of a deal? She paid for three days' room!"
Unfortunately, Anko's words didn't reach Uchiha Ye's ears, who had run far away. Even if she heard them, she would pretend not to. Given the conditions, she would rather sleep in a tree than stay in that shabby inn. As long as she knew that Anko was safe and sound, that was enough for her.
"This is life!" Uchiha Ye exclaimed comfortably as he soaked in the hot spring, his eyes half-closed. Although the private room was a bit pricey, it was definitely worth it. "Isn't the money we earn meant to be spent?"
In another room nearby, Itachi was soaking in the hot spring, staring at a wall as if trying to see through it.
He knew Ye would definitely choose a private room instead of the separate bathhouse for men and women. Sister Hongdou said there was also a legendary mixed-gender bathhouse here.
Although he really wanted to see Ye's body, he felt it was better to have a private room if Ye were seen by other people.
From the moment he first saw Ye, his heart was already captivated.
Although Ye once said, "So-called love at first sight is just lust at first sight."
He didn't want to deny it; after all, Ye was too good-looking, so it wasn't wrong to have that feeling.
Every now and then someone would confess their feelings to Ye, and he was almost used to it. Ye seemed to be getting more and more skilled at rejecting people and was ruthless, but now he was the only one by her side.
He was already very content, and he had been working hard for it, hoping that one day Ye would belong to him alone.
